Ingredients for Classic Peach Cobbler
- 6 cups sliced peaches
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
How to Make Classic Peach Cobbler Step by Step
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish and set it aside while preparing the filling and batter.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated and glossy.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and melted butter, then mix until a smooth batter forms without overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter without stirring.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar evenly over the top. As the dessert bakes, the batter will rise around the peaches and create the signature cobbler texture.
- Bake the Classic Peach Cobbler for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. Allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
